Well, ASME is actually a construction codes that cover design, fabrication and new construction issues but after they are put in service API codes governs the continued operation, inspection and repairs. For example, ASME Section VIII covers fabrication of pressure vessels but once the pressure vessel are put in service, API 510 takes place. Process piping in refineries, terminals or petrochemical plants are designed and built per ASME B 31.3. After they are placed in service, API 570 governs inspection and repairs.

ASME VIII, V and IX is actually a construction codes that cover new construction issues, rather than the ultimate in fitness for service (FFS) criteria or technical perfection. They are written entirely from a new construction viewpoint up to the hand over or putting the equipment into used. These codes are strictly not written with the activity of in-service inspection, repair or alteration in mind. They are definitive about the technical requirements or acceptance criteria that they set.

ASME: American society of mechanical engineering is Code of constuction for different Equipmet/Parts e.g ASME Section I to XII for Nuclear, Boiler, NDT, and FRP vessel, MAterial Properties etc. Where as ASME B 16.5 for flanges and other differnt codes for different parts.

API: American petroleum institute is the standard guidance and fabrication method for Storgae tanks.
